Amomum xizangense (Zingiberaceae), a new species from Xizang, China, is described and illustrated. It similar to A. maximum subcapitatum, but differs in having purple-red leaf sheath, or reddish-green petiole, lamina with midvein, persistent bracts bracteoles, yellowish-white calyx, yellowish corolla, yellow anther trilobed crest globose fruit.
The hybrid sturgeon Acipenser baerii × A. schrenckii is the most widely cultured commercial in China. However, its morphological similarity to parental species frequently leads misuse of germplasm breeding process, resulting a decline quality production. In this study, we have developed protocol by using mitochondrial DNA barcoding and microsatellite locus analysis for accurate identification species. Genetic distance phylogenetic based on COI segment showed that exhibited closest genetic...
Summary Cannabis has provided important and versatile services to humans for millennia. Domestication subsequent dispersal have resulted in various landraces cultivars. Unravelling the phylogeography of this genus poses considerable challenges due its complex history. We relied on a Hyb-Seq approach (combining target capture with shotgun sequencing), universal Angiosperms353 enrichment panel, explore genetic structure wild-growing accessions cultivars by implementing phylogenomic population...
Abstract The challenge of feeding an additional 2 billion people by 2050 is one the most pressing issues our generation. required changes in current food system must be achieved while reducing negative environmental impacts farming practices on climate and biodiversity avoiding deforestation. This formidable overcome a projected that more variable where extreme weather events are increasingly common. While green revolution, agricultural land expansion agrotechnological innovations have...
Abstract Woonyoungia septentrionalis (Dandy) Law is a dioecious species with unisexual flowers in Magnoliaceae. The floral morphology and structure of the are conspicuously different from other important to study phylogeny this family. anatomy ontogeny were investigated evaluate systematic position W. , using scanning electron microscopy light microscopy. All organs initiated acropetally spirally. carpels conduplicated type without differentiation stigma style. degenerated stamens female...
Ammonia is an important water quality factor, which causes several adverse effects in fish. In this study, the 5-month-old hybrid sturgeon (Acipenser baerii ♀ × Acipenser schrencki ♂) with a mean body weight of 50 ± 0.5 g was subjected to ammonia stress (0 mg/L, control group; 10 low-concentration high-concentration group) for 48 h and followed by recovery h, changes liver tissue, antioxidant enzyme activity relative expressions inflammation-related genes were observed. The results showed...
Lepus oiostolus is widely inhabited in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So far, little mitochondrial genome information of this genus has been described. To grasp a better comprehension on molecular basis L. oiostolus, we obtained complete DNA sequences species. The mitogenome was 17,320 bp length, which consists 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA 2 rRNA and 1 noncoding regions. would be great utility phylogenetic analysis Lagomorpha also provide meritorious insights into deeper problems phylogenic analysis.
Manglietia guangzhouensis A. Q. Dong, W. Zeng & F. Xing, a new species of Magnoliaceae from Guangdong province, China, is described and illustrated. It closely related to M. pachyphylla H. T. Chang, but differs primarily in its brown villose lower surface leaves, tomentose stout brachyblasts (peduncles), absence pedicels, sparsely pubescent outer tepals more numerous ovules (12–14) each carpel. very rare with highly restricted distribution.
Euryodendron excelsum is in a monotypic genus Euryodendron, endemic to China. It has intermediate morphisms the Pentaphylacaceae or Theaceae families, which make it distinct. Due anthropogenic disturbance, E. currently found very restricted and fragmented areas with extremely small populations. Although much research effort been applied towards its conservation, long-term survival mechanisms evolutionary history remain elusive, especially from genomic aspect. Therefore, using combination of...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background. </bold>Food choices are influenced by habits, experiences, as well various socioeconomic factors. Understanding these drivers can mitigate negative effects of poor nutrition and yield societal benefits. Preference elicitation methods like discrete choice experiments help understand people’s food preferences revealing factors influencing the most, such nutritional content or cost a meal. This information be helpful in developing tailored meal-based...
The embryological characteristics and ovular integument development of the dioecious species Woonyoungia septentrionalis (Dandy) Law (Magnoliaceae), which are poorly understood, were investigated under laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) light (LM). conform to most previously studied in Magnoliaceae. anther has 4 microsporangia, wall develops according dicotyledonous type. Cytokinesis at meiosis microspore mother cells follows a modified simultaneous type, giving rise isobilateral or...
"Bangjian" were traditional Tibetan medicine-flowers from Gentianaceae, which widely used and had a long medicinal history for the function of detoxifying, curing heat symptoms treating laryngitis. The compound preparation endowed SFDA approval number always Bangjian aas main raw materials relieving cough, asthma respiratory diseases such as acute chronic bronchitis. Its commodity also sold in Qinghai, Sichuan, Tibet other local market specialty marke. However, when recorded by literatures...
Manglietia guangnanica D. X. Li & R. Z. Zhou (Magnoliaceae), a new species from Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. Its pollen morphology, ecology, conservation status are presented. closely related to M. pachyphylla Hung T. Chang, crassipes Y. W. Law fordiana Oliv. The distinguished by its narrower leaves (4–6 cm vs. 6–10 cm), the glabrous abaxial surfaces (vs. pubescent), shorter peduncles (1.4–1.8 2.3 cm) pedicels (0.4–0.6 0.7–1.8 smaller gynoecia (1.7–1.9 2.1–2.9 fewer carpels...
Manglietia admirabilis Y. H. Law & R. Z. Zhou, a new species from Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. It closely related to M. grandis Hu W. C. Cheng dandyi (Gagnep.) Dandy, having similar habit vegetation. differs in its prominently lenticellate branches. Its leaves are dark green, abaxially ferrugineous pubescent, relatively small size (16–24 × 9–10 cm). The distinguished by combination of white tepals, red stigmas, glabrous stamens, few carpels (28 40).
